Replacing entire supervisory boards of state-owned companies at once creates major shock – Viesturs Liegis, Managing Partner at Amrop, Baltics and Ukraine
Interview with Viesturs Liegis, Managing Partner at Amrop, Baltics and Ukraine, for Interfax-Ukraine news agency on the formation of supervisory boards at state-owned companies, the Sense Bank selection process, and foreign business interest in Ukraine
Viesturs Liegis, Managing Partner at Amrop, Baltics and Ukraine, discussed the formation of supervisory boards at state-owned companies in Ukraine with Interfax-Ukraine. Amrop launched its office in Ukraine in 2015, previously managed from Russia until 2014. The company has completed 11 projects forming supervisory boards for state-owned companies, including Ukrposhta in 2018.
Amrop's role in the selection process is to attract and assess candidates, providing recommendations to the nomination committee, which then makes the final decision. For the Sense Bank selection, 111 candidates applied, and Amrop contributed approximately 21-22 candidates to the 29-member shortlist.
The selection process was overseen by the Ministry of Finance, which selected Amrop for the assignment. Mykola Hladyshenko, not initially recommended by Amrop, entered the process after the committee requested additional assessments.
